Video has become an essential part of the Internet. Many bloggers use video instead of written posts, videos are used as instructional aids, on sales pages and of course, since YouTube became so huge, using video as a promotional and link building tool for websites is one of the fundamental aspects of SEO. Millions of people visit YouTube everyday, as well as other video submission sites, the video’s are included in most every SERP result in Google and once again if you make sure to properly SEO optimize each video submission with keywords, tags and a savvy researched keyword title, you will be amazed at the places it will show up over a short period of time making video just one more point of entry to your websites.

Free Video Creation/Screen Capture SoftwareI think many people are squeamish about using video because they think it’s a complicated proposition, and they need a web cam, or some high tech equipment to create videos, well this is not true. Below is a list of the top free video creation tools that actually record what is on your computer screen and your voice in the background and that provides a lot of options to make videos for any type of niche.

Cam Studio- The cream of the crop for open source video creation and screen capture and completely free! Add music, voice overs and more.

Jaycut – Create marketing videos or slideshows quickly with this online video editor, which is browser-based, can run on mobile devices and free. Ability to remix and trim videos; add music, transitions, effects, captions and subtitles, automated transcoding and 1 click export to YouTube and Facebook.

Adobe Premier Express- Made for newbies, easy to use and all you need is a web browser and Adobe Flash® Player, which most of us have on our PC’s. This is an online based video creation editor that can reorder, split, and trim your video clips; add music, transitions, and titles; add your favorite photos, graphics, and animation.

JING – Make short videos, capture screenshots and add your own labels and writing to them. There is a free version and a pro version for a few bucks per year.

GFX Video Writer – GFX Video Writer is not free, but it is cheap and very useful as it converts written articles into videos. Import an existing article to create a series of slides, then format each slide with fonts, colors, etc… add images if desired and background music from the software or do slide-by-slide voice overs and much more.

Top Video Submission SitesHere are some of the top video submission sites where you can submit your videos, get backlinks and free website promotion.

www.youtube.com – PR9 – You do get a dofollow link back to your site in your channel profile.

TubeMogul Free - This is a very interesting site that offers a variety of video submission, distribution and tracking capabilities, I think it will be very effective for video marketing.

TubeMogul OneLoad is a free service that provides a single point for deploying videos to the top video and social networking sites. Users can also leverage our Destinations functionality to easily distribute to custom sites as well as encode and create RSS feeds to syndicate your video anywhere. OneLoad distribution is accompanied by our powerful analytics showing you who, what and where videos are being viewed. In addition, TubeMogul’s InPlay® analytics (for supported sites), provide the most advanced suite of video analytics on the market. See real-time viewership, audience engagement, geographic tracking, stream quality and much more for your videos.

Video publishing is more economical than publishing text articles because you can submit the same video with different headings to multiple video sites and your own site without worrying about search engines detecting any duplicate content.

I love Cam Studio, it is very easy to use and does the job very well. I like the option “Do not record audio” because it is help full when capturing screen shots that you will need to use in more than one post which need different narration.

Wow, JR, nice list! I haven’t heard of some of those video tools before. CamStudio is pretty nice; although, I use Camtasia usually. TubeMogul is nice, but it lacks quite a few sites. If you’re just worried about the few main ones, then it’s very handy.

Do you normally submit videos to all the sites you listed, or do you use one of the distribution programs?Alan Mater – Work From Home recently posted..5 Link Building Myths EXPOSED

@ Alan
Well I have only been doing a limited amount of videos only because I just cannot find the time, I have many sites, so it’s difficult to get them all, as of now I have only manually submitted to YouTube, Vimeo and a couple of others, but I’m about to hit it hard for all my sites and I will likely use the TubeMogul to give it a try as well as the free one I mentioned Video Submission Pro. So you pay for Camtasia? I see they have a free trial, but no free version. I think CamStudio is supposed to be the open source freeware clone of Camtasia.

I hear ya. I would really like to do more myself, but I have so many other things going on. I was actually one of the lucky few who got Camtasia 3 for free when they had it available a few years back. The offer was was quickly pulled not long after… after everyone and their bother went to download it. But yeah… I wouldn’t pay for it when you have free options like CamStudio, which I also have. I do like Camtasia better, though.Alan Mater – Work From Home recently posted..How to Properly Use Backlinks to Increase Search Engine Rankings

I haven’t been using videos for marketing all that much even though I realize how powerful they can be. It seems like for certain types of searches, Google is including some videos in the results. It might be easier for you to take the position away from an existing video than it is for an existing web page.Kathy recently posted..Does That Blogger Know That You Like Them

Right on thanks JR, I have a few friends who just started pod-casting and need some help. They were actually having people leave their site and watch it via some type of youtube but not. it was bad. At least I have them keeping visitors on their page now, hopefully this will help as well.hillary bost recently posted..Rap Concert At VCU Raises Some Eyebrows

I do love Tubemogul, but I also cannot warn strongly enough against using it for promotional/business related videos.
I made the mistake of using it for this purpose and had my account with them closed down, which is a shame as its so good at blasting your videos out to all those video sites (about 40 I think, with 100 credits per month for free members)

I’ve heard of all these video submitting sites, but I heard only for CamStudio on the recording software. I’ll try all these softwares, and I hope they are as good as CamStudio.rock t-shirts recently posted..Thatsmyshirt Model Contest Info

Cam Studio is very easy to use and I love it because of its quality. The sites you provides are good and I already check some of the page ranks. video submission is a nice way to express your self.

I have seen here different videos sites which are best one. Google is including some videos in the results. It might be easier for you to take the position away from an existing video than it is for an existing web page.

I personally don’t even bother to submit to all sites. I think YouTube, Vimeo, Blip.tv, and few others will be fine for anyone. Of course depending on the kind of information you are sharing on your videos will depend the Video Website that will work the best for you.

Tubemogul has been such a great free tool for me. I have been using it for the last 3 months and I have been able to generate 15,000 visits alone from there. Try it for yourself and see if it works for you.Luis Posselt recently posted..Tutorial Joomla

I have found out that not all of these video sites are ones that you can just get on. They all have their criteria to approving your material. Therefore make sure you know what they allow so that you don’t waste your time creating accounts and uploading videos.Alkaline Water recently posted..Orion Jupiter Water Ionizer

True some of them are very strict when it comes to approving the videos, at first instance you might see your video online, but most of them go through a manual review and ultimately gets deleted if they are made with the help of one of those video creation tools, yes, if one can get traffic to those videos immediately then they might let it stick.Rayner recently posted..Teva’s reflux drug – Warning by FDA

Hello,
First off wanted to say to JR how great this site is. I have attended internet marketing seminars and researched for a few months now and this is by far the most comprehensive site.

One of the commentors said tubemogul cannot be used for commercial purposes. If I were showing on how to use a software and leading them back to my site hoping for affiliate profit generation, then I wouldn’t be able to use tubemogul?

Some of them seems to be not working, of course, the one from incansoft is the best i have ever used. Also there are few more new video creation and submission tools which works well, just that they are not well marketed.
